> 53$ for two battledroids
I really thought two would be more like 2900 yen.

> still no Prequel vehicle kits
> AT-AT is 1/144 scale, not 1/48
> SHF still hasn't gotten to ROTS figures
> Mafex still has to catch up
> Black Series only has Navy Troopers
> bought everything I wanted from what's out right now except Model Kit X-Wing, Y-Wing and more clone troopers because the X-Wing seems to be sold out everywhere and the clones are overpriced everywhere

I only started this hobby last year but as a Lego collector the releases are uncomfortably slow.
>>
>>6263459
>> AT-AT is 1/144 scale, not 1/48
Do you really want to imagine the price of a 1/48 AT-AT that would be taller than a Mega Size Gundam and much longer.

Least I can have a 1/144 AT-AT to use as a mount for the 1/144 Gundam kits.
>>
>>6263483
I estimate between 150 and 250$. The potential Lego set that I hoped and set aside money the last decade for would have probably been twice as expensive so this is th better alternative actually. And I find there is no sense in the 1/48 Snowspeeder and AT-ST if they don't release one.

I want it to sit next to me like a dog, samn the price or if it even fits in a shelf.

1/144 is nice but seeing how Revell re-released their 1/53 one (which sadly is based on the AT-AT being 15 meters tall, not the canonical 22,5 meters) and the 1/72 desk organizer that looks to work perfectly as a toy model it's unbelievable how many film-accurate options with moving legs there are now after years of basically nothing.

UK Anons,

Argos has the 5poa Rogue One figures on offer for £4.39 each.

I know this feeling.

Want the Rebel Fleet Trooper to army build but at £14 each it's just too expensive.

I found some Yuuzhan Vong Nom Anor's for £12 each, and there were 12 available but I didn't really want to spend that much. After deciding for a few days only 5 were left and so ordered them.
I will probably do some pictures for here versus Deathtroopers and Shoretroopers when they arrive. (They are being shipped from Germany).

I would like Rogue One style Rebels troopers as well.

Jesus save me I can't do this anymore. Every time I skip a figure or refuse to buy a repackage they end up selling for triple on ebay. Vintage packaging is the opiate of the masses and I vacillate between overdose and withdrawal.

I know that feel anon. I'm going for 2 of each of these original vintage packaging 6 inch black series, collecting a full set of vintage original 12 backs and recarding them, and then saying fuck Star Wars because I need to stop at some point. I already took down all of my other Star Wars figures. I feel oversaturated as fuck.

Also unrelated, but I need to sell my hot toys because that's also an endless pit of me wanting more more more more more.

I don't think Vader is coming on a 40th Card- that's included in the Legacy pack- he's being released in the red/black box.

Well an update for you.
And UKers.

It seems the (((people))) at Forbidden Planet have put up the preorders for the Hera wave for the 22nd May and also the Revan wave which didn't really hit the UK at all for the 15th June.

They made too fucking many of them. Plus, it doesn't serve Disney's agenda to promote a guy like Revan when he represents the part of the franchise they want to forget ever existed.

I thought they would be difficult to build, but it wasn't bad at all. It looks way better than the Black Series and it's on par with an S.H. Figurearts figure in quality. It's a little light, but for 26 bucks I can't complain.

I don't think i've ever seen anyone do this.
I only hate the models, because why buy weird looking sculpts when you can buy an already made durable accurate looking toy and add paint to that to spruce it up?

To build one of these takes way more effort and actually requires quite a bit of skill and proper tools to make it look good


BTW, i've been building minis for three decades and i still would suggest for complete n00bs to buy a model when all they want is a toy to play with. models ≠ toys. They're two different things and to say that they're interchangeable is pretty dishonest.

I believe you, but that is not the norm.

Just saying that the hate models get is justified and that no one really is hating on people who like models kits, yet it seems some people take it personal that a model kit is hated.
In a world where this is what your average newcomer is able to do and doesn't even know that you're not supposed to use craft paints and that paint is supposed to be thinned.....

Black Series and Figuarts are fine for my little squad. If I was to expand it further I'd probably pick up a model kit, finding time to build it would be an issue though.
>>
>>6274015

Maybe it's because they aren't humanoid but the R2 and BB8 kid I build took like zero effort to make it look perfect. The kids are really well made.

I made the mistake of thinking I could use my model kit for toy photography, only to learn that this sucker isn't very posable on things other than it's stand. Maybe it's just me, but Black Series fits my need to hurt them with dirt and put them in water, my model kit just kinda takes up space now

Oh, i was here for that and there were a few people taking it personally for saying models and donts aren't the same thing. They started insulting the guy saying models are memes, so no shit that guy started insulting them back.
I started posting after that to expand on why models and toys aren't the same thing, but apparently anyone who doesn't ahve your view point is a trolling samefag >>6274588

No, no, no, I'm using the Black series for dirty shots and whatnot, no way I'd use a model for those pics kek

Sidenote: I do wash the figures heavily after shoot

Should I bite on the new Black Series Leia or hold out for a possible figuarts?

Also, how well does the new Leia look next the figuarts Han and Luke?
>>
>>6275766
I'd say get the BS Leia (with the newer headsculpt)
She looks good next to Han and if we do get a figuarts it'll be a year or more away; we haven't even seen a prototype

Yeah, putting this out now is an odd choice. I probably would have bitten on this over the TIE in 2015 just because i'd have had room for it, but now? It's kinda too late for something that was the movie for 5 minutes, and the design isn't cool/army-buildable enough to stand on it's own like the ESB speeders. I wouldn't buy a 6" scaled version of luke's landspeeder either.
>>
>>6275932
I like it.


I'll buy it. The new Rey looks quite good, hopefully the head sculpt is better and the paint is tighter. The staff still looks too small but I can live with it.

Question is. Will I see it?

While I definitely understand the complaints that it wasn't a significant enough part of the movie to bother with, and that it's being released too late to bother with it, I think I might get it.
>>
>>6276067
>>6276043
Don't get me wrong, I did like the design and I'll probably try to pick one up once it clearances down to 30 or so. But making giant boxes that'll only move at 50% off seems like a pretty bad business strategy, not having this on the shelves for TFA was a mistake.

So the TBS tie has been about £60 in the UK for a few months (before Christmas around November). I have been waiting for it to drop some more but it doesn't look like it is going to.

Go for any of the Stormtroopers, it's hard to fuck those up.

For humans, I'd say Old Han, Finn (please buy some of the leftover Finns), & Jango Fett have the best looking sculpts and paint combo.

Can two figures fit in it?

>>6277418
Look how far Luke sticks up over the wind screen. >>6277124
(take into account that the thing is viewed at a 3/4 angle) The speeder was likely built off of photos and approximations according to actual human scale, but not for Hasbro's figure scale. Black Series Ben will not fit without heavy modifications.

> These heads look more like the characters than Black Series

Why can't Black Series start painting their shit better? They are apparently good sculpts.
>>
>>6278201
Those faces are only barely past looking like generic doll faces for me, but it's generally easier to get a closer likeness with a proportionally larger head and simplified machine printed/stamped faces like that. Black Series comes off looking strange so often because they're going for a semi-real look in a much smaller size.

>Why can't Black Series start painting their shit better?
The faces are painted by hand by factory workers so there's not much you can do for extra quality considering the amount they have to make. The sculpts really are excellent though.

At first we thought Sabine was Barriss' race from her skin tone in the actual cartoon.

They hire white girls to play her at Disney parks.

She's very Asian looking in Force Arena.

Her Lego minifig's skin is paler than Kanan's.

Her barbie looks black.

Actually, yes it can. The stormy from Hasbro had great articulation...that they then began to lessen on future releases.
>>
>>6279568
What on earth are you talking about? It's doing it in that picture you posted above! Here is a really tiny picture of two Black Series Troopers holding their guns nicely.

Also, I'm not the anon who recommended them above, but I second the Black Series Troopers for their good looks. No other 1/12 Stormtrooper sculpt is as nice. Their articulation is sorta ehh, cause you're wrestling with ratcheted joints, but they pose decently enough, they're cheap, and they look amazing.
>>
>>6279492
I meant the new one when it's released with regular Black Series packaging
>>
>>6279549
>SW channel has it and Disneyland Experience channel aa well
Check again, anon. The SW stream starts up well after the panel, like they clipped it out and the DLE video is low quality and skips over some pretty major moments (the Carrie tribute, John Williams, etc.)

Sculpt-wise, Bandai model kit trumps them all, the glossy white finish in particular is gorgeous.
Articulation-wise, Figuarts Rogue One is the best, joints are buttery smooth and you can pull off virtually any pose you want with ease.
Price-wise, you can't beat the Black Series, articulation is decent.
>>
>>6279678
we all like glossy plastic, yes, but the headsculpt on the model kit is utter garbage.

>Is the Mafex trooper better looking?
No, it's arguably the worst of the bunch. The chest piece is way too thick down the bottom and the head is too square-shaped.
>>
>>6279681
I realize the costume was inconsistent as fuck across all the movies but owning both the RO Figuarts and Model Kit, I have to say my favourite head sculpt is the model (it's menacing without looking derpy, just don't use the mouth sticker).

It's not, actually. So if you want the figure, get the pack now.

Fairly new to /toy/. I just moved out and would like a nice display of SW stuff.

Are the 40th anniversary figures updates of their '77 Kenner counterparts? I keep hearing about a box set...what does it contain?

horrible sculpt but hey if your eyes are kind screwy and your brain is starting to mold up then I guess this sort of sculpt would be your thing.
Bad helmet.BAAAAAAAD helmet. BAAAAAAAAD taste.
>>
>>6279568
did you forget about the revoltech stormtrooper? his body type which is very lean/thin/tall and helmet may not be very accurate but it may just be my favorite of the bunch as it has a sort of comic book/anime look to it.
If your looking for accuracy then I prefer the 2nd stab figuarts took at the storm trooper with the rogue one stormtrooper which supposidly has superior articulation to the first version and a much better looking helmet and 3 guns.
>>
>>6279842

And you're wrong. That's cute that you think Hasbro will follow through though.
>>
Did you know Bandai distributed the Kenner figures to Nippon?

The Figuarts is the true heir to Kenner, not Hasbro BLACKED series poopy!
>>
>>6279944
I like both.
>>
>>6279941
Th design of rouge one is different from the OT. It's not a Stormtrooper 2.0 like you think, it's an entirely new character figure.

Hopefully this was informative
>>
>>6279840
Depends on what you mean by "update".
Black Series 6inch are larger, more detailed, better painted and way more articulated than the old Kenner 5poa figures. They are releasing BS versions of the original lineup from Kenner. The just-released Vader comes with a cardboard backdrop with the figures printed on it. If you're new to collecting and love SW, it's hard to not recommend BS. You get a lot for $20 a pop.
>>
>>6279678

Is that the model kit? The kit always seemed like it has a weird neck but that one looks fine.
>>
>>6279842
Look at the case assortments coming out, none of them include Vader.
>>
>>6279748
I can live with no Chopper- Hera looks pretty good already. Didn't notice the knees.
>>
>>6279950
I think your really stupid. The differences are extremely minute so no, no it is not a entirely new character.

Hopefully we can inform the world better; next time.
>>
>>6279842

Remember that time Hasbro said they'd re-release Carbonite Han Solo from the SDCC pack? They confirmed it a few times.

Yeah, still waiting.

Forehead and hair are still Rebels design. Looks like they tried to make a true realistic version of the Rebels design here while the book cover was a shoddy photoshop.

Yep. You can lower the shoulders and pull the head up slightly without taking it off the joint (an alternative fix would be to cut a small piece of paper and put it into the socket).

The Sandtrooper kit fixed the neck issue.

Agreed, this ruins Thrawn for me.

>>6280437
Again agreed. There are so many figs I'd rather have gotten over Casian Blue Jacket, Zuvio, and marginally different troopers. It seems that there is bad communication between toy companies and the movie production team.
Like, Phasma got a million things and turned out to be a nobody.

>>6278590
> $24.99
Has the price point increased on all figures or just Gree?
>>
>>6280457
I'm sure it's Disney rather than Hasbro that's to blame for bad wave lineups, also for bad arm articulation, I heard they don't want double jointed elbows on non-robed figures
>>
>>6280457

I kind of feel like it's the whole "no leaks" crap. So Toy designers get stuck working on vague descriptions or concept idea and don't get to see the source material properly at all. .

Notice a lot of time the sequels will be slightly better on toys, especially for returning characters.
>>
>>6278696
>they made a fully bad CGI character look like a bad CGI character in plastic

Absolute madmen!
>>
I think Hasbro's really been improving.
Just look at this 40th Anniversary wave:
Fans were unhappy with the first Leia, so they immediately improved it. The Ben Kenobi is (relatively) phenomenal.
Don't even get me started on the new Vader. They knew the old one was shit so they gave us an entirely new sculpt, great paint apps, and sweet new lightsaber that's thicker and crimson red.
Yeah, Mafex and Figuarts are almost always better but Hasbro in undeniably better than they were a year ago.

Here is where I would shove their hideous Farmboy Luke in your face but the Landspeeder pack-in figure looks to be a pretty drastic improvement.

You really have to hand it to Hasbro. They obviously can't offer the same level of quality as import figures that cost three times as much, but you can't accuse them of not giving a shit.
>>

It's not great, and their figures still have flaws, but they're releasing figures I'm not ashamed to put on my shelf

OK, was thinking it'd be thrawn with a 90's head as the exclusive, and rebels thrawn as the retail release, but these accessories are straight up from the rebels cartoon.

This is ok but I wasn't expecting a flight suit at all. Still a buy, but I can't pretend I'm not a little disappointed.

>>6281603
Everyone knew it was coming, but it's still great. Also holy hell they put some work into that face paint. No way retail looks that good, but it'd be nice.

I just passed on a 40th anniversary Vader/backdrop set at GameStop for $45. I felt they'd raised the price since I'd not seen it before, but their Leia and Ben 40th's were priced at $22.99 each.

Did I fuck up?
>>
>>6281634
Bruh, I did EXACTLY the same thing today. I'd rather order online and save $9 after tax and whatnot. It would've been great to open one today, but I can be patient. But it was really thrilling just to see them in the wild, no?
>>
>>6281638
It was. I already have the 40th Obi, and I just got a regular boxed version to open. I'm considering getting all of the 40th to keep in package, even though I despise that mentality and hate myself for thinking it. They just look so nice in the package and j already have most of the figures unboxed from previous releases.

I found a black series C-3PO at a walgreens today. R2 as the last one of the 40th stuff I need, but fuck me is he scalper bait.

I think I like C-3PO's finish/color the most out of the options. It's the right shade, and it's shiny, but not TOO shiny. On the other hand, not giving him bicep swivels was fucking criminal. I'm pretty sure I watched some reviews when he first came out, but I didn't remember that was a thing.
>>
>>6281824
His shoulder joints swivel, so that should get you where you need to go. It's the lack of any elbow articulation that is unforgivable.
>>
>>6281853
Honestly, I can let the elbows slide. He barely moves them, and more importantly, I don't think they could have pulled off the moving piston. Same reason I don't see them doing a battle droid.

There was plenty of room for a bicep cut right below the shoulder though, so it's not like there was any engineering reason to leave them out. He's stuck always having his arms out, which feels way more limiting than the elbows.
>>
I've yet to get any Star Wars figures so I'm not sure what are the best to get.

Is just getting SHF figures a safe bet or are there better?
>>
>>6281911
Depends on the character. If you really can't be bothered to research and want a single line to collect, it's hard to fault Figuarts. Mafex and Black Series have some standout figures, though.
I think a good rule of thumb is Figuarts for unmasked human characters, Mafex for Boba and Vader, Black Series for army building and masked/helmeted characters.

Or you could just get into Hot Toys and Sideshow for 1/6th scale.
